Many of Electronic Theatre’s regular readers have been enquiring about the size of the next-generation consoles. Many images have been revealed so far, but this means little when delivered without any comparison. Electronic Theatre has listened to these demands, and delivered the goods with a direct comparison between Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

Below follows an image depicting the launch edition of each of the four current consoles – including the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 - side-by-side, standing in their angular pose. The depth of each system is not represented and while every caution was taken to be accurate, Electronic Theatre can not be held responsible for any modification of the console deign prior to launch. Of course, Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on any such changes prior to the launch of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
